Have anyone successfully made Mofongo (smashed plantains) with this?

no sorry - all i can say is i crushed cinnamon sticks and it takes a long time to get very tiny peices like you buy in the store

Marilyn, I think you can do so; I usually follow the recipes in the insert and if you go online Pomona has many other recipe variations. I also experiment on my own; last year I made a mixture of blueberries and rhubarb, it was fantastic!! I also used the Pomona Pectin to make pineapple jam. I was leaving for a 10 day trip and had this ripe pineapple which I could not use before leaving; hence, turned it into jam! It was wonderful. I use the Pomona Pectin because it is natural with no preservatives.

Sorry, haven't done this yet but it sounds like a great idea...mixed with some milk should do the trick.

Hi, Melitta recommends a Fine grind. As fine as you can grind it, I have found.Cheer,Phil

I have not tried this as yet. I see no reason not to try it. Possibly chunks should not be to big. Perhaps 1/2 inch and see what happens. I plan to try this later with fresh fruit. Let us know if you try.

I haven't, but I notice there's a recipe on the Meyenberg site using this: http://meyenberg.com/index.php?page=chevre

I tested uncooked millet and some grains fell through some got stuck in the holes and some stayed in the colander. I didn't have any quinoa but as I recall from an earlier attempt they would fall through or get stuck as well. Best to use a screen sieve.

We ave not attempted that yet, but we have used beads,small pastas,dried beans,but never water. I thinks it would be fine,but have not done it thus far. When we do we will let you know how it went!

We use v8 splash berry blast to mix it... about 8 ounces covers the taste well :)

Yes! I have made it many times. Use large shred coconut, & unsweetened. I buy it in bulk. I fill a large (6 cup canning jar) jar half full with lightly packed with coconut, and up to the 6 cup line with water. let soak over night. then in the morning I pour the mix into the machine, make sure the water is to the fill line, and run the soaked bean setting. and then strain with the provided strainer. you can sweeten if you like , add vanilla, or what ever you want. I use the coconut, or almond meal for cooking and baking after. Also, you can experiment with combos of coconut and other nuts. And the amount of nuts or coconut you use is up to you. I have had lots of success with it just playing around with raw versions, or using almond extract. Its a really great kitchen tool over all. My oldest son cant drink dairy, and the amount of money I have saved on making my own milks has more than payed for this machine. We have not made soup with it like they say you can , but I am sure that would be easy to do. Hope that helps!

When I tried stirring it into liquid it did clump, so I used a blender and mixed it with water, or a coconut milk/water mixture. FYI it's very good with pineapple chunks and banana blended in.

No. I have not. It works pretty well on mango fruits. You have to position it just right and it works best on fruit that is not over ripe. I would be curious to find out if anyone has tried it on other fruits.

I haven't tried that, but I have made my own sweet/sour gummies and homemade jellos with it. The Green can doesn't jell, only the red one. :-}

I would imagine you would use like a Fox's Ubet syrup. Milk, coffee, in the blender. Not sure tho, sorry.

I've personally never tried it on a green plantain, however, I have tried it on an orange, green bell pepper, an unripe banana and of course the typical fruits and veggies you'd peel with a peeler. This is the real deal. I love it!

I haven't tried too I think it would be a lot of cleanup and much simpler to use maybe a blender. I really don't think this is the best tool for the job, I put a banana in it just spits out the back

I have really had good luck with mine. I tried to grate all my "Italian" type cheeses like this. Hope it works out well for you.
